Game Concept
Ultimate Battle Arena is an Axie Infinity-inspired universe where anyone can earn tokens through skilled gameplay and contributions. It’s a digital collection where players can battle, collect, modify and fuse their ultimates. Each ultimate has different stats which determine their role in the battle.
Each ultimate is a non-fungible token (NFT). Each is unique and owned by the user, validated through block chain, and its value can be appreciated or depreciated based on the marketplace. Since ultimates are tokens on a blockchain, they can be bought, sold, or transferred digitally, with a guarantee of ownership.
Ultimates have an infinite number of copies on the Marketplace. Each copy has distinct stats stored in a smart contract.

- On the Level-up screen, users can view the selected character’s rarity, name, level, attributes, class and roles.
- Users can click on the “Level-up” button to level the Ultimate one level at a time or hold down the “Level-up” button to continuously level the Ultimate, which consumes BOV until it reaches a milestone level.

Card Packs are the most cost effective way to acquire cards.They offer the fastest way to extend the player’s collection to a particular set. They contain items that players can open to acquire cards for filling a player’s UBA collection.
Card Packs can be purchased with ULTI Tokens. Each card pack contains 5 cards from the card set. Each card opened has a probability of being Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary but each pack is guaranteed to contain at least one card of at least a rarity.
